Thf *e*k in Coairrm.
Congress has done very little to com-|
if: 1 it>olf to the country during the past
iftk. The House made some progress j
r \h the appropriations, and believing
sit it was far enough along to justify an
djouinment, was disposed to heed the |
irst recommendation of the Way9 aud j
(eaas Committee to make the recess ex- j
*ni over the week intervening between
trsstiua-. and New Years, but the desire
■ make a little cheap capital at home <
•?rcaiue >ome of the members, who in |
yad !t> mc the House resolution carried
sd tiivu>:ti of them dodged or voted
gamst their desire to bring about its de- !
Stat Thus compelled to show their
and <t run the risk of being compelled
j stay, they assisted iu carrving a motion
:o reconsider, which resulted in the final
l>:icn of the original resolution, but
Hbe exam pi* its influence upon a j?ood
many Senator*, who got left in their efforts
t.. bring about the desired result without
xemiD£ to take any part in it.
« liII MrviM
U has Won further developed during the
week thai this is not a fortunate time to
hare the matter of civil service reform fair
ly considered. The near approach of a
Presidrntial election induces a belief on
each side that the other is endeavoring to
aain some partisan advantage under the
guue of public reforms, and the whole of
the discussion on this subject has been
shaped aad colored by this belief. It is
ponticuit at any time to tree ouestious of the
gTttoest public importance from these con
»derations. Even with the narrow escape
iroiu absolute collision and violence in the
*tt!enient of the Hayes-Tilden controver
s) fresh in recollection, it was found im
pels! hie in the nextt'ongress following that
triable to pass a bill covering all con
nivencies that might arise in the counting
cf the electoral vote s«> fearful was each
ada that the other might obtain some un
due advantage in the provisions of the new
legislation proposed on the subject. If
with the plain duty of providing for such
• ontinjjer.cies so plainly illustrated, and
with no immediate opportunity to hinder
ti e be«t judgment of Congress in such pro
vision a proper law could not be framed, it
Is n<>t unlikely now that thit body, on the
,»-ve of a general election, is going to agree
w-on a ('lan which w ill dispose of the ma
in ce of such
lence of any
•accas conclusions on the subtect. to form
say •-pimjon as to the action of Congress on
the proposed abolition of the tax on tabarco.
"n tie one hand, the argument—used also
is acaicit the abolition or reduction of
government revenue from whisky, via:
'hat it is an article of luxury, and the bur
den upon it of little weight to the <K»n
sunier, is employe<l. and on the other the
- aniiest hardships imposed upon the few
localities which produce and the injustice
of raising so large a proportion of the
revenue from the few tobacco producing
Mates. As a West Virginia question there
n not much doubt that producers there
" . * ^lad to see the tax and the re*
unctions upon the sale of tobacco removed.
Anyiody who will take the trouble to ex
amine the records of the 17. S. District
1 <>urt will find that a considerable propor
' ■iii o: her citizens pay fines and go to
ml annually for undertaking to dispose,
n their own way, of the tohacco raised by
:hrir own industry, and tbey naturally
would be glad to find the freer market
immunity from annoyance which free
tobacco would give. There is no sentiment
<n the State opposed to such removal so far
a* 1 am aware, and the petition presented
by Senator l»avis this week from dealers,
• nly asked that they be protected from the
loss they would suffer if the tax were re
n >»ed without allowing them a rebate on

*nI Vlrilsia Salter*.
1 telegraphed you last night that the ap
«rehended difficulty between Col. Bsnj.
' 1 If on and Attorney-General Watts liad
been adjusted without a resort to the rteld
of arms by the prompt interference of
mutual friends. It appears that on the oc
casion of the recent visit of the Attorney
General, Congressman Wilson, meeting
him casuulty in tha lobby of the National
Hotel made acme reference to the slender
figure of the law officer of the Common
wealth. intimating that a fatter man would
1 etter grace the Executive Department of
a grow in* Stare, and putting himself gpn
eially in the attitude of.the Ruman who de
nounced Ca»j-ius for having a lean and
fcungry looked and expressed a preference
for havicg individuals of larger avoirda
puis and who slept o' nights around him.
On these remarks of CoL Wilson's an
it*ue was promptly made up. The At
torney Gent-ral reminded him that on the
occaa'tn of a meeting sercrtl year* since
the C« Dgre»eional representation had in
dulged in aiinilar reflections and at a later
peiiod had duplicated his ob-ervatioiis,
and ii<ting the fact that his offering th*m
in t?i|>he«'f :ndiYated a n«h»*l di*e*««d on
the »u-j« it. he said Le vuuJd birn Later
•boat II nd walked off. The reference to
a l»t«r baeeting and the fact that Col. Ben
wu heard to enquird later for a friend well
▼erwd in the code, \ led to considerable
»peculation, and the Absence of the Attor
ney General from the city to-day increased
the appearance of a brewing atorm, but the i
announcement is made to-night on theJ
beet authority that all differences hart"
been satisfactorily settled and that tlr i
Stat* is not likely to be deprived of m i
services of either gentleman.

Question of filling Senator Davis' place,

come on from Wheeling and deliver his
lecture, said he could not iind it in his
heart to put the lecturer to the expense of

lecture.

Washisutox. December 23.—In the Sen
ate Mr. Vest presented petitions for the
repeal of the tax on tobacco.
Mr. Chilcott offered a resolution request
ing the President to order the departments
closed early during Christmas week so as
to give the clerks the usual half holiday.
Mr. Edmunds objected to its considera
tion and it went over.
Mr. Plumb called up the bill providing
for changing the term of she United Status
District Court at Wacliita, Kan. Passed.
Mr. Logan moved that when the Senate
adjourn to-day it be to meet on Wednes
day next, but at the suggestion of Mr.
Anthony he withdrew the motion tem
porarily.
Mr. Walker gave notice that on the 12th
of January he would call up the bill to
quiet the title to certain lands in the upper
Peninsula, Michigan.
At the close of the morning hour the
civil service bill came up as unfinished
business, the question being on Mr. Pugh's
amendment providing that the present
force of the 1 >epartments, except soldiers,
etc.. be subjected to competitive examina
tions like persons outside, and to facilitate
such examiuationj they shall be divided
into two clasaes.
. rJ Honda. ODDOsed the ,
amendment, saying he favored the bill as
it came from the committee.
Hayard saitl the bill bad originated with
the members of the Ripublican party, and
be would not deprive them of the credit of
having at last become conscious of the
abuaes of the civil service which the Dem
ocrats bad suffered under the Republican
party. The spoil system had flourished
regardless of the protest and demands for
jus»ke. He recognized fully tbe evils of
that system, and did not desire the Repub
lican spoils system to succeed. By the
Democratic spoils system the law will l>e
executed in tne spirit in which it was in
tended, as a measure for reforming exist
ing abuses and makiug a new test
for appointment to office, and with that
new test necessarily a new tenure.
Alltson—80 I understand your construc
tion of this bill to be that a man who is
capable, intelligent and one of good charac
ter will tie continued in office while he per
forms bis duties, if the spirit of the law is
carried out by the executive who adminis
ters it.
Bevard—This bill does not undertake
too much. I do not tbiuk tbe Senator
from 6eorgia. or any other Seaator should
expect this bitterness to regulate the
tenure of civil office and make a final
declaration upon this very much debated
question of constitutional power of the
executive as to appointment and removal.
Mr. Plumb thought the demands of pub
lic opinion on this subject of civil service
reform would be fully met by a bill pro
vididing for three things:
First—Distribution of offices among
StaUs and Territories or Congrecsional dis
tricts according to population.
Second—N'on narf'san selection o( *p
potatoes iron diitricts accoriiag to politi
status at the time rappoiateent* Are
made. \
Third—Stringent prohibition of tNNt*
menta for political purposes. \
^Mr. Piatt questioned Mr. Brown m fol
ia the event that the Democratic party
comas into power in 1884, which the Sena
tor hopes for, is it his desire that remor
p* j shall be made of all the clerks and em
'f loyte how in office because they are Re
publican?, and their places filled dv Demo
crats'.'
Brown—It Is my desire that justioe and
equity should be administered in that
matter. It is right that the majority of
the people of this conn try should nave
some share in the offices and employment
of the government.
He was in favor of a fair division of the
patronage of the government among the
tay-pavers and burden-bearers at first, and
after tnat stipulates the adhesion to the
civil service rules.
Mr. Garland said: The cause of the ver
dict rendered by the people at the recent
elections was not dissatisfaction with em
ployes or the management of the depart
ments. It was that the country had be
come tired of the weary horrors of war in
time of p««ce. The country, like a man
who has lain top long on one side, had
grown sore and nttless, and had turned
ovar on the' other Jlde. The 8enator from
free whisky and the operations of the Sun
day law, bnt this explanation did not ac
count for the elections in other States—for
the electricity along the whole line. The
victory belonged, not necessarily to the
Democratic party, the party that put itself
in a position to bring tnecountry back Xo a
basis that the people would endorse; not to
the Republican party, it might not be a
third party, it might'not be the Democratic
party, though he thought the choice would
tall on that party if it conducted itself
wisely.
Mr. Logan said that during the rebellion
while several States claimed they were out
of the Union, many of the offices which
belonged to those States had been given to
persons residing in Washington, and he
was opposed to any amendment which
would turn out those competent clerks
from places which had tallen to them, not
bv any fault of their own, but by the fault
of the States to which the places under
other circumstances would have belonged.
Mr. Garland said the principal of distri
bution of appointments among States had
been recognized by law prescribing such
distribution in the Treasury department,
though the statement bad been made here
that the law was not enforced.
Mr. Sherman said that the law had been
in operation sin»e the time when Bristow
was Secretary uf the Treasury.
Mr. Windoin said that during his term
as Secretary he had ordered the removal of
a man for having made a false statement
in regard 10 his residence, and in no case
had any man been appointed knowingly
from a*8tate to which he did not belong.
He intended to offer an amendment pro
viding for this.
Mr Brown asked the President on the Re
publican side to say whether they agreed
with the Senator from Delaware (Bayard)
in thinking that the bill, as it now stood,
wonld give outsiders the same right to
compete for all vacancies in the service that
persons already in offitte had.
No answer was made.
Mr. Pendleton said if it was true that any
Senator thought that bill in itspreseut
form would not permi t the competition to
persons outside of the departments for any
vacancy that might occur, lie would vote
with Mr. Brown to amend the bill in that
respect. _ j
Mr. Pugh's amendment was rejected by
a vcrte of 18 to 2'S.
Hon.
The House, without transacting any bus
iness, adjourned until Wednesday.

Result of the Republican Primaries
in the Seventeenth Ohio
District Yesterday.
Tayier in tile Lead, With Frazier,
Hoiilngswerth and Coulter
Following Ctose Behind.
Partial Returns from All the Coun*
ties—Light Vote and a
Quiet Day.
The Republican primaries to choose del
egates to the convention that meets at
Be J lair e next Tuesday, were held through-,
out the Seventeenth Ohio Congressional I
district yesterday. No very great interest
JWfi and a small
votewas poffed. Tf! Ifci
field Colonel J. D. Taylor, of Guernsey,
seems to be in the lead, <having secured a
larger number of delegates than any of hia
competitors. Senator Hollingsworth will
probably have the next highest number,
with Judge Frazier closely following and
Col. Thomas B. Coulter, of Steubenville,
bringing up the rear.
It is not known, as yet, whether Col.
Taylor has secured enough votes to cap
ture tbe prize on the first ballot. If
lie has not, it is thought by some that
there may be a combination to beat Taylor
as there so often is against the strongest
man. His friends say lie stands well, has a
clean record, would make a strong, safe
candidate, and they look upon him as the
coming man. A private dispatch from
Cambridge states that the Colonel's friends
are p osi tive of his nomination.
Senator Hollingsworth's friends claim
that he will be second to Taylor in the con
vention and will have at least the power
to prevent the nomination of
Guernsey's favorite >on. In the
event of a wrangle or tight it is thought
that Judge Frazier, of Noble, will loom
upon as tbe dark horse and carry off the
prize. He would make the strongest
candidate before the people, and would
poll every Republican vote in the district,
besides a large Democratic following in
Noble county.
Thomas B. Coulter, of Steubenville, will
make a creditable run in the convention
for a man of his youthful years. He may
in certain events turn up to be the suc
cessful dark horse.
From the above it will be seen that the
work of making a nomination will proba
bly devolve upon the convention, and
therein the danger Mies. The delegates
will have to keep their heads level and
avoid all dickering and crobked work if
they eapect to give satisfaction to their
constituents; and it is believed they will;
that the lesson of the past summer will be
heeded, and a good nomination made:

London, December 23.—Davitt, in a
speech at Beimonsic, said that emigration
was no cure for the discontent in Ireland.
A svstem of public works, he said, would
be iar more creditable to English states
men than forcing thousands into work
houses, and then forcing them to quit the
country. But if, during the winter and
spring, 50,(XX) families quit Ireland they
would go to swell the ranks of thv* new Ire
land which was growing beyond the At
lantic, where they would be trained in re
publican ideas. From his knowledge of
the new Iteland in America, be conld tell
Lord Derby that the Knglish statesmen,
before long, would have to take into ac
count the Irish element in America in the
settlement of the Irish question.
